President Ronald Reagan - “Crusade for Freedom“ US Propaganda Ad

The Crusade for Freedom was an American propaganda campaign operating from 1950 to 1960. Its public goal was to raise funds for Radio Free Europe; it also served to conceal the CIA’s funding of Radio Free Europe and to generate domestic support for American Cold War policies. Ronald Reagan was a major US spokesperson for the campaign. Reagan also starred in the pro-Crusade film The Big Truth (1951), which depicts RFE broadcasts into Czechoslovakia. Clips of this film were shown as advertisements (produced by the Hearst Corporation and the Advertising Council) for the Crusade for Freedom during the 1951–2 fundraising campaign. #RonaldReagan #ColdWar #Propaganda _____________________________________________________________________ PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL for new and interesting videos! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on the product(s) shown in the above video,
